I sometimes feel inside,like i want to start screeming,or running, or just getting very angry and hitting something ..
I guess thats normal?
I may give it a good try and see if it works!!!

I am trying new things and thoughts out today..so far  so good!

I think i may have found my trigger...

Its 1am, and iam up again,,,but this time,i paid more attention to what was going on..i have alot of low back pain,and this time,my back and leg were tingling and num,and so was my low back..i had to move,get up walk around,and now focusing on calming me,and stoping the anxiety coming on due to,my nerve pain...
Right now,i am going to take a zanaflex to try and help the nerve pain..it will also relax me...
